In some cases, changes to your spit can be a warning sign that something’s off.
When things are amiss with your mouth — especially your spit — it can be a sign of underlying conditions.
Since saliva’s mostly made up of water, it’s usually clear-colored and thin in viscosity. “However, underlying health issues can affect both the amount of saliva produced and contents of the saliva, which can result in changes to what it looks and feels like,” Glessing said. “A number of commonly used medications affect saliva production and secretion and lead to dry mouth,” Glessing said. “These include blood pressure medications, diuretics, antidepressants, antihistamines, as well as some pain and anxiety medications.”
. It’s a sudden rush of saliva that strikes when stomach acid and saliva are regurgitated up into your mouth.. Why it happens is unclear, but it’s thought to be linked to hormonal changes, such as hCG production and high estrogen levels. The perma-nausea that can strike during pregnancy is another possible trigger.
“Oral ulcers may be incidental, but could be caused by other more systemic illnesses, such as Crohn’s disease or celiac disease,” Glessing said. “Diets low in vitamin B12, folic acid, iron or zinc may also lead to mucosal injury in the mouth and blood in the saliva.”Saliva that tastes sour or metallic can be a sign of acid reflux or GERD, which causes stomach acid to flow back up into your throat, creating a bitter or sour taste once it mixes with your spit.
“Vitamin B12 deficiency is also a common cause of metallic taste due to its effect on the central nervous system,” Glessing said.
